Update for me:

I am through week 2 (almost through the first round of 1mg's) and it's actually hard. I quit smoking when I started the 1mg's- when I was on the .5 mg's, smoking started to taste nasty and made me queasy. But the higher doses are irritating the hell out of me. I moreso crave a cig (prolly cuz I'm restless and unemployed til I start school next week), but at the same time I have strong bouts of nausia for the first couple of hours after taking the pill- so I always have candy to suck on for that (which helps but also can lead to a bad habit) and I'm biting my fingers constantly. And it's harder to get to sleep- takes me about an hour to an hour & a half most nights.

It does feel good to have a clear nasal passage again, though. And I keep thinking- 'Wow. I don't smell like smoke. I don't have to worry about any inconvenience of it.' And no depression or suicidal thoughts (crosses fingers) but I seem to be having a great outlook on this as well as everything going on- I guess that's the high-spirited person in me. So that's the good part.

I'm chugging along and hoping that I won't even have to bother with getting more paks.
